San Jose recommendations?

My wife's and my upcoming convention in San Francisco has been moved, because of the hotel strikes, to San Jose. We will be near the convention center and will have a rental car. We would greatly appreciate advice on restaurants -- Asian, Latin American, European, whatever, the best-quality and don't-miss places. We will have lunches and dinners for three days. Thanks in advance for any help.
